For a third time in four games, the Scarlet Knights gave up over 40 points in a blowout loss. But it's also worth noting that Rutgers has also scored more than 17 just once in its last five contests.

With Gary Nova's struggles in mind and the fact that Chas Dodd has appeared twice in the last two games, it begs the question: Who should be under center for the games against Connecticut and South Florida?

Rutgers' struggles go beyond the quarterback, of course -- The Star-Ledger's Steve Politi wrote that the team is "soft" last night -- but maybe bringing in Dodd for a run at the end of the year will inject the team with new life and help the Scarlet Knights grab a spot in a bowl game. Nova is coming off a game in which he completed just over 32 percent of his passes after hitting just 18-of-38 against Cincinnati.

But there's more to the debate than just Rutgers' final two regular-season games. Dodd is done after this season since he's a senior, while Nova has a year left and still can develop as he continues to play. The choice to bench Nova in the final two games may have an effect on him next season, but if Dodd can make a difference in the final two games and lead Rutgers to a bowl game, it could be worth the risk. But remember, the quarterback decision may not yield results given the other problems the team has. As Dan Duggan wrote last night, "It's easy to pin all of the blame on Nova, but there is plenty to go around."
